Not sure about what the Lib Dems target should be

Re: Local Elections 2022
 

My district has always been under labour control and what really impressed me was that for the last two elections (not this one) the candidate was personally putting flyers through the doors and doing house calls. I invited him twice to my house and he spent 1 hour each time listening to my concerns and those of my neighbours about our local area. I have always classed myself as a conservative but in those two elections he made the effort to engage with and listen to his constituents and in contrast I heard sweet fa from the conservatives.

I think staying where they are would be a major success. I don't think Ed Davey has done anything to move the party forward so I will be amazed if they don't lose seats and control of some of the councils they gained last time.

I also failed to notice that they have changed the polling station. I wonder how many will be caught out by that?

Re: Local Elections 2022
 

same here but in my case the buildings are literally right next to each other

Re: Local Elections 2022
 

Well yes except in my situation that although the 2 schools are on the same site they have different entrances.It's caught so many people out judging by the people passing my front door on their way to the Juniors(and back again) which is nearer of the two schools.

Now I will have to walk through the local park afterwards to make my way to the village chemist.

No local elections round here.

Re: Local Elections 2022
 

Nothing round here either thankfully.

Wall-to-wall elections here in Scotland. All the councils come up for complete re-election at the same time. I’ve just been out to the polling station, probably the latest I’ve ever been. But I’ve never missed an election since I turned 18 and I’m not starting now.

I would not know about Nottingham City, they are not my council. ;)

Re: Local Elections 2022
 

me too. I would get very mardy if somebody or party I didn't like got into power. At least if I vote if I feel like I have had my say and tried to do something about it.

Re: Local Elections 2022
 

Not sure if this is softening the public up for fewer losses which will then be presented as a reasonable result in the circumstances.

BREAKING: Labour hold Sunderland Council in early results just in but Labour’s vote share drops, yes, drops by -3% from 2018.

Re: Local Elections 2022
 

In results so far, both Conservative & Labour have lost seats.

The gains going to Liberal Democrats, Green Party & Residents Association.

Some protest voting going on here ?

Re: Local Elections 2022
 

Lib Dems doing very well.

Labour mixed in the North but started to make gains down in the South. Taking Southhampton and Barnet. Tories worried they might lose Wandsworth and even maybe Westminster.

Labour take Westminster (it seems) which would probably be the standout result for them in this. Otherwise, outside of London and a couple of other places, they're at 2017/2018 levels of support in the rest of England. So better than 2019 but they probably wanted more there.

Lib Dems and Greens are doing very well.
